If you're looking for a delicious cheesecake, this is it! I ordered two whole cheesecakes from Cake Envy and they were both DELICIOUS!! They were also beautiful, which helped as I was planning on taking them both to a special event. The first was a Creme Brûlée cheesecake. It was rich and smooth and creamy and had a lovely crunchy crackly Creme brûlée sugar coating on top. I enjoyed a slice of this fancy cheesecake slowly and deliberately, savoring each and every creamy toasted sugary bite. 100 percent I recommend this one! It was the center of attention at the party and even my stepfather, who spent decades in NY developing his fancy palette, gave his stamp of approval. And he rarely compliments anything lol The second was a Mocha cheesecake. This one had a smooth creamy chocolately coffee flavor. The crust tasted like Oreos blessed with a drizzle of espresso. The aroma of coffee called to me through the box and I couldn't resist so I ate a quarter of it by myself before the party... This one I devoured quickly, mindlessly.. albeit.. selfishly. I could *figuratively* feel it coursing through my veins as it gave me enough energy to clean my entire house before I finally crashed and fell asleep. The best way to see the many cheesecake flavors this place offers is to check out their Instagram. I think their website is under construction at the moment. Or it ate too much Mocha lol read more

Bend the knee Brownie Batter from Lucy's Lab. Cake Envy's Chocolate Truffle just dethroned you from as my favorite ice cream. Cake Envy is located across the Hawaii Theater, seating around 25 people in a clean, well-lit Chinatown shop. My 9 friends and I rolled into Cake Envy around 8 PM (yes, in our old age of 30-32) after having dinner at Topped (another excellent choice) on a Friday evening. Place was deserted which suited our dessert fix just fine. The nice young lady working let us sample a variety of sorbet and ice cream options. I ordered a two scoop Kona Coffee and Chocolate Truffle. The amount for $5.50 was less than other places, but quantity sometimes isn't everything. First bite of the chocolate truffle was amazing: smooth, creamy, major chocolate flavor with thin slices of chocolate, just amazing. The Kona Coffee had strong coffee flavor but the bitterness was balanced with sweet. Neither flavor was overly sweet. My friends tried Oreo, salted caramel, dragonfruit and other flavors and all enjoyed them. The cheesecake, ice cream, and sorbet place also sells cheesecakes, but none of us had enough space for that. Next time! read more

I am full of ENVY. I ENVY of the peeps who work and live in town that have easy access to this shop. I ENVY them because they can indulge in the slices of heaven that this cute, trendy shop pops out of the oven. I ENVY the girls who can have a fun time catching up on each other's lives while licking a gelato made from non-other than ilgelato. I ENVY the couples who looking dreamily into each other's eyes, to take breaks to slice through the decadent cheesecake, then slowly seductively consume the gem and then magically end it with a kiss. I ENVY the Instagram of Cake Envy, as it knowingly teases a sweet tooth of mine by posting wonderful pics of their goodies. As you can see I'm full of ENVY for CAKE ENVY. What is Cake Envy? They serve homemade g-o-u-r-m-e-t cheesecake. I first got a taste of their heavenly slices at an event called Dessert Fantasy. Check out my review for the event: http://www.yelp.com/biz/dessert-fantasy-honolulu-2?hrid=psMaJx9ylbcuYnIb_jsjwA Cake Envy won a few awards from this event, the awards are nicely decorated on their walls. Besides cheesecake they also serve gelato made by ilgelato. The gelato is made here in Hawaii and it's awesome as well. Environment I love the decor. It's chic, spacious, and nicely decorated. A great place to hang out with friends, to subdue your sweet tooth, and bring a date. Cheesecake They offer all sorts of flavors, but they vary day by day. You can also put in an order for a whole pie. Here is a picture of the list: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/cake-envy-honolulu?select=PRNzz3Pt2gN97NDWz6j4Bw Parking: Parking can be tricky. There is street metered parking. Mark's Garage is near by. You can also walk from Walmart's parking garage. You have to make a minimum purchase at Walmart, I think you have to spend a minimum of $10. Overall: I relish their cheesecake and adore their decor. read more

We decided to grab some dessert after dinner at the pig and the lady. When we first walked in we noticed the owner and her friends enjoying their glasses of wine. Apparently they were open so we proceeded to order our cheesecakes. (no greeting whatsoever, we honestly thought there was a party happening) They run for $6 a slice and we also ordered the chocolate lava cake that was $5. -Cherry Amaretto cheesecake: The cherry was pretty distinctive but the cheesecake was really crumbly? In addition to that the cheesecake barely had any crust. I've had better. (+2/5) -Creme Brûlée cheesecake: This was also really crumbly in consistency. Furthermore it tasted like plain cheesecake with a burnt topping. (The creme brûlée part was so burnt it was inedible) After a few bites we weren't able to take another. (+1/5) -Chocolate lava cake: Tasted like a brownie with a fudge filling. I can't believe i'm saying this but it really tasted like a box mix. (+1/5) I rarely give one star ratings but I am so disappointed. I will not come back. Now it's time to get some cheesecake from otto cakes. read more

Cake Envy - amaretto and burnt creme brûlée cheesecake ($6 each) - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me

We stumbled upon Cake Envy after having dinner at a nearby restaurant and were happy to find a still open, eat-in dessert shop. The interior is modern with feminine touches and there are a few tables to sit down and enjoy your cheesecake, and coffee or tea, on disposable plates and dixie cups. There is a rotating selection of cheesecakes to choose from in the display case. A small slice is $6 a piece. The cheesecakes are creamy, true to flavor, and most are light/whipped/airy in texture, unless you choose a flavor like Peanut Butter which had a denser consistency. The flavor you choose may also affect the moisture of the cheesecake, we found the Blueberry Silk to be the wettest of the the cheesecakes we tried. They also do a nice job of packing whole cheesecakes/cheesecake slices to go, making this a nice dessert to bring to someone's house or to carry back to the office. Treat yourself or impress your guests with cheesecake from Cake Envy. read more

Great News! Cake Envy has now added Il Gelato to its menu. This Gelato is amazing and the best on the Island and has won International Competitions. We only tried 3 flavors but there are several more on my list. It's great to have another option in Downtown for a Cold Dessert, plus Gelato is healthier than Ice-cream. read more

I'm not sure how long they've been around, but I discovered Cake Envy as some friends and I went to grab a few beers at JJ Dolan's and we walked past their storefront. A few days ago while downtown I stopped in to check it out. Inside is a minimal but nice interior. It didn't exactly seem like a welcoming atmosphere to hang out in, but decent enough to enjoy your after dinner dessert. The prices here were a bit high, coming in at $6 per slice of cake, and that is not exactly a huge slice we are talking about. They do have a good selection though, with a lot of traditional flavors, but some interesting options as well. I tried both the pumpkin and the mint chocolate and I enjoyed both. They were fairly dense, but not so thick as to ruin it. The taste was strong and balanced without being overly sweet. Overall, this is a good dessert shop and I think this would be a nice place to finish out a downtown dinner or date. In other words, "I'm a fan." read more

They have over 70 flavors!! 4.5 stars for the one of the best cheesecakes in HI! Parking: There is street parking available and it's free after 6pm for all those who are Chinese like me! If you can't find street parking, there are several private lots that you can pay to park. If you work or live in Downtown, it's easier to just walk over. It's located right across the Hawaii Theater on Bethel. Food: I don't crave or order any dessert type foods but after have a bite of their fluffy and smooth creme brûlée cheesecake, I was hooked! It's nice that they torch the top of the cheesecake after you order it to keep the top crunchy. With over 70 different flavors, we only had the creme brûlée and root beer tonight. My personal favorite is the creme brûlée. The root beer really tasted like root beer but creme brûlée won in my book. Too bad my phone died before I could take a picture of the root beer slice. Service and Ambiance: The cashier was very nice and spent time to share with us the top sellers and gave us some tips for our next trip back. If you want a specific cheesecake, you can call it in 48 hours ahead of time and they will make it for you! They do rotate cheesecakes daily and to see if they have one you want to try, call them to ask and they will let you know what they have for the day. A slice is only $6 which is very affordable. You can see the layout of the place when you walk by through their large picture window in the front of the store. It's an open concept with music playing as you walk in. The display for cheesecakes is on the left as you walk in and it makes it tough to choose what you want. You can check a flavor menu on the far right wall to see what other flavors they have. They do take credit and cash here. I came very casual and noise was below average. Mink loved their decor because it was simple but elegant. This is a great spot to check out after dinner in one of the many restaurants around the area. They also do take out so if you want to pick something up to surprise someone, you will definitely put a smile on the persons face if you get them a slice or even the whole cheesecake from here. Mink got a slice of the chocolate cheesecake with a strawberry on top before we left. It was that good! read more

Yes, I am. I am a fan. The first time I had their cheesecake was at our goodbye party for one of my coworker. She was heading back home and she mentioned that she loved the death by chocolate and mango cheesecake from Cake Envy and so we bought one. It was the most delightful cake ever. It was light and fluffy. I've only had really heavy cheesecake cake and so when I tasted cheesecake from Cake Envy, I fell in love. I fell hard. I've been to this location at least 3 times and every time, I've enjoyed all of the slices. I've tried their creme brulee (my favorite), death by chocolate, mango, cherry supreme, heath bar, and another chocolate one. Yup, I'm in big trouble. This place is just too close to me. It's hard to resist. read more

Arrived late on a Friday night to sample the 4 cheesecakes they had remaining: creme brulee, churro, cookies and cream, and lychee. We practically inhaled the cheesecakes. I loved the cinnamony churro cheesecake and my little ones loved the cookies and cream, even requesting a second slice. Cake Envy and Otto Cake definitely have the best cheesecakes around. The shop has plenty of seating, but the hard to find street parking is a deterrent for me. read more

Cheesecake, my favorite dessert for life! I read reviews and looked at pictures. This place looked like heaven to me. It's located in downtown right across from the Hawaii Theater. It was a cute little shop decorate really simple and comfy. Everyday, I believe they only have 6 flavors of cheesecake for sale. They have 60 flavors total?! Omg! While looking at the display case...nothing seemed to capture my attention. I'm here, so I decided to get the chocolate orange cheesecake ($6). We sat down by the bench with a bunch of pillows and a big sign on the wall that said delish. I took a bite of it and "WOW", I just felt a little of sweet heaven. It was really delish. It wasn't heavy creamy cheese. It wasn't too sweet. It was right for my tummy. I wish that they would have more different flavor cheesecake. I would come back just to try something else. Definitely pricey for a piece of cheesecake. But can't complain when the cheesecake is that awesome. read more

Imagine Homer Simpson salivating over a donut. It's like that. I ate a slice (of Heaven) within minutes! Not proud of it, just saying how awesome it is. What I got today: Mango - nice, light flavor. Filipinos, I gotta tell you this cheesecake rivals Max of Manila's one. Peanut Butter - a creamy Reese's pieces. This will make you LOVE peanut butter. So good. Creme brûlée -just wow. If you see it in the glass, order it. In fact, order 2. It's that yummy. I was surprised Amy pulled out a torch, but then again it is creme brûlée. I am thoroughly impressed and will come back every chance I get. I guess this means I should make good use of my gym membership :/ read more

Cake Envy - Creme brulee, complete with torched to layer. Yuuuummmm - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me

Very very cute shop! Located on Bethel street right across Hawaii Thearter, the tricky part of any downtown establishment is finding parking. We went around 8pm so street parking isn't that bad... wouldn't know what would be the best place to park during the day. Anyhow, someone needed cheesecake and this was open so we came here. They mainly sell cheesecake but also sell other cakes and gelato too. We ordered their popular Lilikoi slice and Cookies & Cream slice with Sea Salted Caramel gelato and hot teas. The both cheesecakes are well made... light and not to heavy tasting... the lilikoi flavor was nice and the cookies & cream was awesome because it was topped off with oreo cookie crumbs... the crumbs were also in the crust and in the cheesecake too. The gelato was from Il Gelato and we could taste the caramel and vanilla but the sea salt really wasn't there or our palettes were too consumed by the flavors of the cheesecake still freshly in our mouths. Overall, this is a great place to get a cheesecake fix if you have a craving or are in the area. The prices are moderately high, but if they keep making outstanding & flavorful slices of cheesecake, $6 a slice is a piece of cake! Grind on! Pau! read more

So I'm writing this review, giggling to myself, because I just finished responding to several friends about why the "Pink Velvet" Cheesecake I had, was green. Joyce W. had one theory, and I had another. But in the end, I think we were both wrong? I'll get back to this later. Well, Cake Envy is located on Bethel St. directly across from the Hawaii Theater. The inside is nice. Roomy with a high ceiling and decorated with trendy wall art and knick knacks. Large windows makes for good people watching entertainment in Downtown. These guys have been making cheesecakes for a long time, and through some of the reviews I've read, they have about 60 different varieties. The flavors in the showcase changes every so often, so don't expect to see the same ones on every visit. Although I prefer the classic plain cheesecake, the other ones her are pretty good too. They're not so dense, but creamy with the right amount of sweetness. Recently, they've begun selling Gelato! Who doesn't love that? Best of both worlds under one roof! Getting back to that "Pink" Velvet cheesecake, I know it exists because I saw Amy Y's picture to prove it! Hers was pink pink. Not wannabe pink like mine. Yet, it tasted like "Pink" Velvet. I guess. It was good...but I actually believe that 1) the wrong sign was placed in front of the wrong cheesecake, or 2) I got leftovers from St. Patrick's day. Hopefully, it was my first guess. Hmm... Perhaps it was Pistachio? Guess I'll never really know. Regardless, I'm still a fan of Cake Envy. Street parking only so be prepared. read more

Stopped by for after lunch snack. I ordered the double chocolate Jack Daniels and my friend had the cookies and cream. Both were heavenly. Very decadent! Be wary though, cheecakes are grea, decor is trendy, but the upside down smiles, unfriendly atmosphere, and the answers you have to pull out of the service counter person, just made me tired and I was curious enough about the cheesecake that I ignored the aloofness of the sales/counter person and stayed. by the way, we were the only ones in there. Thumbs up for the cheesecake ($6), thumbs way down for the service and upside down smiles. read more

Happened to be in the area so I walked in to check out what they had to offer. They have a decent selection of cheesecake, ice cream, and a few assorted cookies as well. I only got a cheesecake slice, which while very good, goes for $6. The place is decently sized with some seating but you can just as easily get it to go. read more

Wow...what a great little spot! Just across from the Hawai'i Theater. A little pricey, but super, super yummy! They do offer glass painting for parties, sounds like fun. They were a bit under staffed, especially since there was a concert tonight, but a second person came to the rescue! Next time you're in Chinatown, check them out! read more

CAKE ENVY your inexpressible confectionery virtues have triumphed evil yet again as inevitably as the sun rises in Makapuu and sets in Koko Head. I cast myself at your feet and beg thou for absolution. Yours is the genius that nourishes the heart of this confuzzled world. Words can't begin to express but I will try..... 2014 WAS suppose to kickoff with a trip to go to Buenos Aires(the Paris of South America mind you!) and then choo choo train it to Patagonia so I could pickup a Penguin as a pet and bring it back and give it a nice home in a refrigerator with a penguin door... but those plans fell through as business priorities overrode my passion for arctic aquatic flightless Oreos... so I'm sitting here, indulging in self destructive eating habits of delusional escape through chocolate with a box of tissue, watching Twilight and Sex and the City on Blueray with my new 24 pack of Crayola crayons trying to color in between the lines through the tears and *SHAZAM!* what a cheesecake!!! .___. / ~ ~ \ | O _ O | / \ _ / \ .' / \ `. / _| |_ \ (_ / | | \ _) \ / __\ _/ - \_ /__ ))~~;/ \;~~(( So I know a bunch of you have made reviews about Otto Cake and the like, raving and raving and raving and raving about that shit. I love it and you but I don't give a CRAP! This is the best cheesecake!!! Cake Envy has me besotted since day one "pre-downtown permanent location Apartm3nt dessert menu #throwbackshityoldpicturesthursdays your convoluted hashtags are so Goddamn awful the google *See Translation?* button appears" days. So... Cake Envy now has a permanent location! No need to call in 48 hours ahead to order whole cakes! We can spike and crash our insulin one slice at a time! Cake Envy on Bethel St. is the best thing to happen to downtown since... since... Acid Wash Wednesdays at NextDoor(before the renovation) pre-Facebook smart phone post-Myspace being on your phone in a club is fricking weird era. When I fork in this slice of divine, I close my eyes envision my dream kitchen in my dream condo above Nordstrom, with no bedroom or living room, just one big ass Iron Chef Kitchen Stadium! Where friends come over, we have cooking battle parties with smoke and fireworks. With guest judges, exotic themed ingredients and like the Flinstones, a gay old time! What I'm attempting to impress upon you, young reader is... this is no simple dessert, it's... ....simply sublime! Imagine I'm cooking and invite random new girl over to my place, and I'm like, could you grab the Hachinoko and Shirako from the frig honey, first one should be labeled as "bee larvae" and the second under "don't ask, never google"... and she'll be sure sweetie, and then I hear a scream and her, "There's a penguin in your refrigerator!!!" And I'll be like, oh yea, that's my pet penguin, Nabisco, and that's his penhouse(did you see what I did there?) and calmly ask why she is getting all worked up, I'm mean what's so usual about that??? Here settle down, have some cheesecake, it's by Cake Envy, best cheesecake in the world! I'm NOT mad! It's nothing... Of course. Here have some cheesecake. I have a headache! Here have some cheesecake. I have nothing to wear! Here have some cheesecake! It could one day be that simple right? A boy can dream... Thus we return to message, aka the point. Go try this place if you haven't already. Mention my name since that will get you nowhere. And I know you guys are always in the area. I see you posting pics in downtown on Instagram 24/7! So go... Go! GO! @TheWineyChef P.S. I don't really watch Twilight and Sex and the City. But do have crayons, Crayola are the SHITS! P.P.S. I'm back! Well maybe... read more

I've been wanting to go to Cake Envy forever because I love cheesecakes ... and this shop has a decent selection. Call ahead if you're interested in a specific flavor, since flavors change daily and you'll never know when a certain one will be available. Such was the case of the "Death by Chocolate" chocolate cheesecake that I really wanted to try. I pretty much called every day for about a week until the flavor was finally in the store by Saturday. Cake Envy is located in Chinatown, and the boyfriend and I went to pick up a slice of that "Death by Chocolate" flavor on a Saturday. It was easy to find parking in the nearest municipal lot on a Saturday later afternoon. Cake Envy is close to Hawaii Theater--right across--making it the ideal dessert hot spot after a play or show there. Fortunately, the dessert shop wasn't crowded during the time of my visit. Only one other couple was in there. Ordering was easy, since I knew what I wanted, but not ordering more than one cheesecake to go was hard. They even have gelato here; I'll definitely have to pick from the amazing selection on another visit. The lady behind the counter was friendly, and the cheesecakes are affordable - about $6 per slice. You can even order whole cheesecakes. I took a good look at the other flavors, and there are many I want to try. Cake Envy: I'll be back, and next time, I'll probably dine in. Here's what I got: "Death by Chocolate": This chocolate cheesecake is definitely sure to please for any chocolate lover. The cheesecake itself is chocolate and it's topped with chocolate ganache and chocolate drizzle. It also has an OREO crust ... which tends to be my favorite component when it comes to cheesecakes. I loved the moist, silky texture of the cheesecake, and the chocolate drizzle makes it even sweeter. The cheesecake slices here are thinner, and it didn't take long for me to devour the entire thing in one sitting. "Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough": I love both the texture and richness of cookie dough, so I'm excited to taste this version one day. Too bad the flavor descriptions (everything in the cheesecake) aren't available for viewing! But, since I really like The Cheesecake Factory's version, I'm positive I'll like the Cake Envy spin on it as well. "Peanut Butter": Peanut butter is one of my favorite flavors, so of course I'll want to try this cheesecake at some point. Here's to hoping the peanut butter flavor is really strong. When it comes to creamy peanut butter, I don't like it when the flavor isn't strong enough to taste. I'm also interested to see what kind of crust this cheesecake has. "Our Signature Pink Velvet": Pink Velvet? Now, that's different. I'm a huge fan of red velvet when it includes cream cheese frosting (red velvet and cream cheese just have to go together), so I would inquire what the Pink Velvet entails before ordering it. But it definitely sounds intriguing and since it's a signature flavor, it has to be good. "Snickers": The "Snickers" cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory is one of my favorite flavors because it contains actual chunks from the candy bar inside and on top. I'm interested to see Cake Envy's take on this flavor and if there are other chocolate elements, like a chocolate crust and chocolate drizzle. "Cinnamon Roll": Cinnamon rolls are one of my favorite breakfast items. I love the ooey, gooey glaze and fresh dough from the buns. I'm interested to see how this cheesecake flavor will incorporate the stronger, flagrant flavors of cinnamon. If it seems promising--I love strong cinnamon flavors--I look forward to trying it. "Mocha": I love strong coffee and chocolate flavors, so this cheesecake flavor sounds like a match made in heaven. I'm interested to see what kind of crust this cheesecake has (hopefully an OREO one). But, I'm sure I would like the filling because it features coffee. read more

I came here looking for a cheesecake that I needed the next day because another order I had fell through at this other place and left me In a tough spot. After speaking with Amy the owner, she said she needed 48hrs notice but she was kind enough to make her wonderful Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake because she did have the ingredients to make it that day to be picked up the following day. When I returned the next day it was ready and Niceley sealed with a ribbon and the store logo sticker on top. Not to mention that she cut the cheesecake for me into sixteen pieces without showing the cut on the edge of the cake and a strawberry for each piece. No way would I be able to cut it like the way she did. Thank you Amy for doing this order at the last minute and it was a pleasure to meet you as well. If you are on the hunt for great cheesecake and awesomely friendly customer service, this is definitely the place you want to be. read more

What's your guilty pleasure? Mine is spending $6 on a single slice of cheesecake. The first time I came here was on a whim. I was craving desserts and as luck would have it, they had the flavor that I had been eyeing on for a while - Creme Brûlée. I wouldn't say I'm an expert on cheesecakes, but I think this might have been the best cheesecake I have ever had. If I was dying and could have only one request, I would say, "GO TO CAKE ENVY AND GET ME A WHOLE CAKE OF THEIR CREME BRULEE." When I really like something, I end up always getting it...yes I'm that basic. It was creamy and smooth. The top of the cheesecake was just toasted to perfection and as I bit into it, I could taste the caramelized goodness. I've tried their other flavors: chocolate covered strawberry, dark chocolate guinness, and signature pink velvet but none of them stood out for me like Creme Brûlée did. If you plan on being a regular, sign up for their FIVESTARS reward card program! Even if you forget to bring your card with you, it can be set up to be linked to your cell number and/or email so you'll still be able to get points which is awesome. I think after my 2nd visit, I already had an offer for a BOGO cheesecake! You already know I used it for TWO Creme Brûlées ;) Oh yeah, if you're ever curious about their flavors for the day - don't be shy and give them a call! They are more than helpful in naming all the cheesecakes. Also, go early in case they do sell out. I remember I called them before noon asking for the Creme Brûlée, they told me there were 2 slices left. When I arrived, they were all gone. Lesson learned :( I can't wait to come back to try out their new gelato I keep hearing about! read more

The grand opening of Cake Envy has finally arrived! You may have tried her cheesecakes at other establishments like Kan Zaman or Soul de Cuba. After years of catering to different restaurants and only doing special order cheesecakes, owner Amy Brookes has decided to open up shop on Bethel. The shop is open until 10 pm with the intent of snagging all those late night theater-goers who are looking for a quick bite after a show. It's also good for foodies with a sweet tooth craving a late-night fix! Side note: The decor inside is BEAUTIFUL! Definitely meant for the girlie girl in all of us. And now on to the CHEESECAKES: Everyday, Amy singlehandedly prepares 18 cheesecakes (not including special orders) from her list and serves them in slices or as a whole pie. $6 per slice, $50 for a whole pie, $60 for a sampler pie with up to 3-4 different flavors. For special orders, she asks that an order be placed 48 hours in advance. Last night, my friends and I tried: Mocha, Salted Caramel, Macadamia Nut and Cookies and Cream. They were all fantastic! The cheesecake was lighter than Cheesecake Factory or other cheesecakes that I've tried. It seemed like whipped cream cheese, but it wasn't so light that it was a mousse. The cakes were packed with flavor, but they weren't overpowering or excessively sweet. The signature Heath Bar cheesecake was all sold out by the time I got there, but it's just another excuse for me to come back another day. This place has a lot going for it, so I'm hoping it does well. Given the turn out on the first day, I think Cake Envy is here to stay! read more

YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT! The captivating phrase on Amy's menu! I first tasted her oh so silky smooth cheesecake at Rakuen- Heath bar cheesecake. I'm not a huge cheesecake fan, before this but I'm now a Cheesecake Envy fan!! You will definitely want to get a sampler-four different flavors. The four I choose were; Heath bar (of course), cookies and creme, cherry and creme brulee, so I can only tell you about these. Amy's cheesecakes are not overly sweet, even with the fillings like cookies and creme or heath bar. The cherry cheesecake was, oh so cherry luscious, just a liiiitle tart and sweet at the same time. The creme brulee is a cross between the custard and cheesecake...yum! She has many different flavors, too many to mention. The cheesecakes flavors are broken into 3 categories on her menu. Lust for chocolate, indulgence and sinful fruits. I can't wait to try the Green tea, because I'm a fanatic with anything green tea. To order the sinful delights call Amy #366-8307, leave her a message and she will get back to you ASAP. 48 hour notice if you want something to order. Drive up to Executive center and she will bring it to your car for easy pick up. Amy is wonderful, too! www.cakeenvy.net read more

I am a huge fan of cheesecake, but I wasn't a huge fan of the cheesecake here. I always believe you can tell if a cheesecake place is good if you get the simplest piece, usually the plain or plain with a top garnish. I got the plain with cherry topping and my sister got the Strawberry silk. The plain was ok. The filling was creamy and not overly sweet. The topping was plain and gummy- I'm not sure how they made the cherry topping gummy... It kind of freaked me out. The part that really bothered me was the crust. The crust was wet and mushy, as well as floury tasting. My sister's cheesecake was another story. It still has the weird crust, but the strawberry creamed made it a delighted as it weaved between each layer of plain cheesecake. The floury crust combination made it taste like a creamy strawberry shortcake. Definitely worth trying. Now besides the cheesecake, we got tea. The tea came in the tiniest cup- like the kind you get at the doctors office for the water cooler. I was not impressed and a little appalled that the two cheesecakes and tea came out to more than the cost of my dinner. I will probably never be back again unless there is a cheesecake emergency and it's the only place in walking distance. read more

Wow, $6 for a slice of cheesecake, is it worth it? That's very high expectations which leaves very little room for error. We ordered the orange creamsicle and lilikoi flavors. The cheesecakes were perfect, not too sweet, right amount of distinct fruity flavors. You can taste the high quality ingredients, real lilikoi juices was used, not that artificial stuff, the texture was perfect. With the sticker shock, it's hard to give five stars, but this is worth more than the $3 pastries at a unnamed recently opened bakery on king st near Golden Duck (I'm giving away too much information????). read more

Ever since Cake Envy opened earlier this year, I kept walking pass the place so many times because I was either too full too eat or didn't have the time to try it. I finally made it to Cake Envy early on September's First Friday. I had high expectations for Cake Envy because their cheesecake looked so beautiful and appetizing. Instead of the normal birthday cake, my friend wanted to try the cheesecake here as the birthday cake substitute. It was a difficult choice as they had a large selection of cheesecake. We settled on the pistachio cheesecake and also ordered some hot cappuccinos. Then we headed over to the bench tables by the wall to find some comfortable seating. The bench end by the window was a good spot as any and it was cool sitting by all the comfortable throw-pillows. The interior's ambiance was modern and clean. Ladies behind the counter were nice and very helpful with suggestions. 5 stars for their effort. Once they found out it was a birthday cake substitute, they gave us some candles for the occasion. read more

Cake Envy - Pistachio - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me

After going to The Fix, I stumbled upon this place. It looked closed at first, because only one of the shelves had cheesecake, and no one was in the front of the store, not even workers. However, the door was open, so I pulled up my trusty Yelp app and it showed that it was still open! Likes: Cute place downtown. I like the concept of a dessert place downtown being open late for when you're done with happy hour or whatever. Dislikes: Pricey. $6 a slice for a "normal" sized piece. The drinks are expensive too and it was dispensed from a machine. The cashier also didn't plate my cheesecake nicely, and one of them had the tip broken off :(. If I'm going to pay a premium for a dessert, please present it nicely because I will post it on Yelp and Instagram and I don't want people saying that I stole the picture from Martha Stewart's cell phone. The cheesecake was good, but not amazing. It was a little dry and hard to cut through with the plastic fork, but the flavor was good. I'll give it another chance, since I want these types of businesses (local and dessert) to do well. The lilikoi and creme brulee looked good, so maybe I'll try that next. read more

My first time eating a cheesecake from here was in 2016. Cake Envy was introduced to me by a friend in high school, and she said that it's a NEED to try their cheesecakes. She was right. I remember what I ordered; it was peppermint chocolate cheesecake because it was around the holiday season. SUPER GOOD. It melts in your mouth, no bubbles, etc. Fast forward to 2019, I tried to look for it online, but I couldn't. My boyfriend LOVES cheesecakes, and Cake Envy offers one of, if not, the best cheesecake I've ever eaten. My boyfriend and I were in Chinatown, looking for Teapresso, when we accidentally found this place. When I walked in, they're joint with Teapresso and Il Gelato. The employee said that we could only order slices and if we want to order a whole, we have to contact Cake Envy online. I was kind of sad to here that they share their tiny shop unit with 2 other businesses, but their cheesecake is (and will always be) amazing. It tasted the same. The consistency and texture are the same. I haven't visited the shop in 3 years, and everything's the same--taste, texture, consistency--and it doesn't disappoint. What Cake Envy has is truly something made into perfection. read more

I hate to, but I got to... This place is a beauty. Definitely catches the eye, and its simple but enticing tone brought us in.. I was so excited to see this place. We took a look at the cakes and they all looked so good. I started having fantasies of the pecan cheesecake.. Where we'd get married. Her gaining a little weight, but still loving her because I'm committed.., but I was late for an appointment and had to go :(... Afterwards I was just shy of a full sprint back to Cake Envy. I ordered the pecan cheesecake and gave my girlfriend strict instructions that if she wanted anymore than two bites,.... she needed to get her own! Took a few bites, and all of a sudden the loved died, and maybe I was a little uncomfortable with the extra weight "she" gained :p.. But all joking aside. I liked the cheesecake, but it didn't blow me away. Its just ok in my opinion. I really wanted to love it, but it is missing something. Also, it is a little pricey. $6 something for a slice.. and it wasn't that big.. and I'm not cheap, but I just didn't feel like it was worth that price. The place is beautiful, the owner is super friendly, and you should def check it out. I plan on stopping by again to try something else, and hopefully update this review. read more

Cake Envy - Pecan - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me

Didn't try the cheesecake but got a double scoop of gelato. I was going to get only one scoop but they had a super dark chocolate and a peanut butter gelato so I couldn't resist ordering both. Their gelato comes from il gelato, but giving 5 stars because the location, ambiance, and everything about this place was nice. Plus I really like dark chocolate!! I mean I REALLY like it. Like REALLY REALLY. Okay I'm getting creepy. read more

Delicious-ness 5 stars Price - 4 stars Parking - 4 stars Ambiance - 5 stars $6 a slice or $50 for a whole cake is a bit steep I think. I stood there for a good 3 min before I found the bell to alert them I was waiting. I recommend they attach a bell to their door. Cute, clean....still mid-renovations. read more

Cake Envy - Cookie Butter Cheesecake & Creme Brûlée Cheesecake - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me

Amy and her cheesecakes are absolutely exceptional. My boyfriend and I are from California and visited Waikiki (Hilton Hawaiian Village) for our birthday's last week and it was crucial that I find him a good cheesecake. After careful research, I discovered Cake Envy; however, I quickly found that the store was under renovation, so cakes were only sold by the whole and I would have no where to take him to eat! I called the number provided and explained that I really wanted to surprise him with a delicious cheesecake but given our traveling circumstances it seemed tricky - but boy did he end up pleasantly surprised! Amy went above and beyond to work with me to accommodate my wish. Not only did she listen to me think out loud, but helped me pick the right flavor (not being fond of cheesecake myself, and ultimately making it a custom cake), and arranged to have it delivered to our hotel! Cookies and cream with a chocolate ganache is what we went for, and I think I must have dreamt about this cake for the next couple nights to follow. It was absolutely to die for. And a non-cheesecake lover can't make this up. Amy was so lovely and helpful to work with. Her energy flows right through the phone - you can tell everything she touches is with love and her cakes are pure evidence! Thank you for your help with making my boyfriends birthday amazing. Without a doubt, we will be back for more. read more

I wanted to get my boyfriend a unique cake for his birthday and when I searched for cakes on Yelp, Cake Envy was the first one to pop up. Located in downtown Honolulu, it's a very cute shop with a huge flavor selection of cheesecake flavors! Parking is limited, and if you're lucky, there are a few open parking stalls right out front. Other than cheesecakes, Cake envy also sells gelato, which I have yet to try on my next visit. Compared to Cheesecake Factory, their cheesecakes are smaller in slice size. They're not as tall, and they're not as thick either. However, Cake envy is home to unique flavors that Cheesecake Factory doesn't have such as the ever so popular lilikoi, and even a creme brûlée (my personal favorite) topped with the caramelized sugar, super good! I'm a huge supporter of local businesses so I didn't mind that my cheesecake variety (4 different flavors, 3 slices each) cost 65 bucks, but every dollar invested in that inconspicuous white box was worth it. All of the flavors were so good and was a hit when I brought it back home. That cheesecake only lived 2 days in my household.. RIP :( If you feel like treating yourself, treat yourself to a little slice of heaven, a slice of cheesecake from Cake Envy. read more

Cake Envy - They serve Il gelato here!!! Salted caramel and spumoni - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me

Boss treated since he said it was good here. For 5 slices it came out to $40+, kind of pricey but hey it was really good...decadent good! Hit the spot, sweet tooth spot. We bought creme brulee, the Elvis, cookie butter, mint chocolate chip, & Mexican chocolate. All were very creamy & very rich. One slice is good enough (no wonder they're small slices!). All were not too sweet, just right. Just keep a cup/glass of water on the side, it'll come in handy. That's how creamy it is! I had small bites of each & on my 3rd bite I just needed a cup of water. Good cheesecakes though! Love the decor! Very feminine/girly feel. read more

Cake Envy - The best cheesecake in town! - Patisserie/Cake Shop Near Me

Cheesecake so fabulous they make other deserts jealous reads the menu..... And like a moth to a flame I was lured in..... Cake Envy has a monstrous menu selection of sixty yes sixty flavors to choose from, but on a daily basis they have their staples in stock like their creme brule and lilikoi unless of course its sold out because its all in other customer's happy bellies. We wandered in last night prior to a showing of The Attorney at the Hawaii Theater. The choices of cheesecake included lilikoi, mocha, creme brulee, salted caramel and a peanut butter banana one. We decided to go with the creme brulee and lilikoi. They caramelized the sugar on top of the creme brulee cheesecake, and my goodness it was delicious. My lilikoi cheesecake was airy yet tart and delicious. I could've eaten a few more slices, but we would have missed the movie. They offer a sampler which gets you four different types of cheesecake for just $60 or a whole cheesecake for $50. You may be thinking wow that's a lot for cheesecake, but no a trip to heaven is definitely worth it. Run don't walk to Cake Envy before someone eats their way through the fabulous display case before you. read more
